"adaptstions of Boulevard feuilletons,"

4 NATURAL WONDER.
Another Kentucky Cavern than Rivals the
Mammoth Cave

Another Kentucky Cavern than Rivals the
Mammoth Cave.
| BLOOMFIELD, KY, Dec. 27.-J. A. Allen
OF this place, while excavsting for foun-
dation for new mill, struck the dome of
& cavern of immense proportions, from
| which strong current of cold air issued
with great force as the workmen made
the opening. Torches were procured
and Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Gainshurst were
| lowered down By means of windlsss. 1t
was about sixty feet from the surface to
the floor Of the cave, which they found to
be level and sandy, as If it once had been
the bed Of an ancient subtersnean stream.
They followed the main avenue for 8 dis
lance Of over two miles and discovered
an opening in the cliff on the
farm of Mr.. Berj amin Wilson, and
well-beaten path Was easily discernible
that was once trodden b. human beings,
although it is now in many places covered
with forest trees and underground Mr..
Allen and Mr.. Gsinshurst, after emerging
from the cave, fastened back to town and
reported the result of their discoveries.
A large psrty was at once formed, which
entered the opening of the cliff
on Wilson'S farm. On one of the
main avenues numerous evidences existed
that the place had evidently been the
abode Of the cave men, as numerous relics
were found in the shape of pottery and
bronze articles. A sepulchre was also
discovered in large niche or avenue at
right angles with the main avenue and in
it ale numerous mummifed bodies.
Three OF them have been removed to town
and excite great curiosity. The
formations in the cave are beeuti-
full beyond description. Stately towers
of stalegmites and beautiful pendant OF
translucent stalactites, suggestive of gro
tesque and unique figures, are encoun-
tered all along the wonderful subterra-
mean avenue. There is beautiful little
lake, with water as clear IS crystal. and,
as is usual in cave streams, it is full of
tiny eyeless fish. The avenue of the cave
will measure, in all probability, about
seven miles, so that it may be fairly con-
sidered another rival of the Mammoth,
and certainly one of the many great cave
wonders Of Kentucky, the country of
caves.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS,

LONDON, Dec. 81 Mr.. Gladstone, re-
plying to en- address presented to him at
Dover by the Liberal delegates. referred
to the uncertain character of Lord Sails
bury's declaration In reference to free
trade, and said they Indicated, IS far as
the minority in Parliament is concerned,
that free trade was insecure. He relied
on the masses Of the people to oppose
return to prote ction. The coming session
did not promise well for the country. 1t
is desired that the great measure OF The
session, local government bill, would
not be introduced until April. The last
was dark session, but this would be
darker unless something WAS done to allie
viate the situation IL Ireland. The
darkest blot upon Parliament was the
act now in operation effacing the
civil rights of the Irish. The Liberals
were charged with interfering with the
administration Of law. What pc was try
ing 10 do vas to retard the governments
destructive policy of perversion of the
law. 1t was well for them they were on
the right side CT the channel. Ii the
Christian knowledge Society in seek
ing to promote mercy snG truth were to
publish in Ireland q book applying
those principles to that unhappy county,
they would be subject to criminal prose-
cution. Lord Salisbury talked about the
consolidation of the empire while pursu-
| ing policy of national disruption. How
could that be policy Of consolidation
which disregsrded centuries OF national
tradition and opposed the will
| OF 100000 out of 5000, 900
| Irish people. Ireland only
continued within the bounds of modela
ton because she knows she has the sym
pathy OF friends in England. Sd long as
her moderation continued, so long would
the sympathy be continued. Not long
could any government face the unani-
nous people with the single exception OF
the Belfast Council. All the election eu-
thoritles sided with home rule. The foreign
imported government stood alone. The
Liberals term of minority in Parlia
ment would cease st the first election
The appeal lay with the country. The
party had never inscribed on its banner
the name of cause without carrying i
through. Having taken up the cause o.
Ireland the cause would sssuredll
triumph.
